Reality

I recently connected with some other parents on facebook that are adopting through the same agency, only to learn they have been waiting 4 month, 12 months, etc. I guess when I complain about it being a month with no word its laughable. It's disappointing. There is a lot of things through the process which have proved to be misleading. But I know I have to pray for patience. I have to remember God's timing no matter how hard it is for me. It has put things in perspective for me even if it is disappointing. These other families were hoping to have children by the end of summer which has come and gone and probably have the same mental deadlines I do now..... by Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. As wonderful as it would be to have someone to share our Christmas I have to realize it is realistic that might not happen.
